Forced Performance Mitsubishi Evo 9 Red XR57SR Turbo Ball Bearing MHI Turbine Hsg w/18PSI WG

If you're looking to significantly upgrade the performance of your Mitsubishi Evo 9's engine, this Forced Performance XR57SR turbocharger is a serious contender. This unit is built around a genuine MHI (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries) core, known for its reliability and performance. It features a ball-bearing center cartridge, which spins up much faster than traditional journal-bearing turbos, meaning you'll see boost pressure build sooner in the RPM range. This translates to a more responsive engine and a broader powerband, making it ideal for track days or spirited driving where quick throttle response is key.

The turbine housing on this XR57SR is specifically designed to handle the increased exhaust flow from performance modifications, helping to reduce backpressure and improve overall efficiency. It comes equipped with an 18 PSI wastegate actuator, pre-set to manage boost levels. This turbocharger is a well-built unit, designed to be a direct replacement for the stock turbocharger, simplifying the installation process. The ball-bearing design also contributes to improved durability and longevity compared to standard journal-bearing setups, especially when properly maintained.

When installing a turbocharger of this caliber, it's important to ensure your engine is properly tuned to take advantage of its capabilities and to maintain safe operating parameters. This includes checking fuel delivery, ignition timing, and exhaust systems. While this turbo is designed as a direct fit, always refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for specific recommendations and torque specifications. Please note that this turbocharger is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
